"Combined (temporary, slow-front, fast-front, very-fast-front) overvoltage"
Consisting of two voltage components simultaneously applied between each of the two phase terminals of a phase-to-phase (or longitudinal) insulation and earth. It is classified by the component of the higher peak value. Conversion into
"Standard combined switching impulse"
Combined impulse voltage having two components of equal peak value and opposite polarity. The positive component is a standard switching impulse and the negative one is a switching impulse whose times to peak and half value should not be less than those of the positive impulse. Both impulses should reach their peak values at the same instant. The peak value of the combined voltage is, therefore, the sum of the peak values of the components.

Temporary Overvoltages Load Rejection (Summary)

Temporary overvoltages caused by load rejection depend on the rejected load the system layout after disconnection the characteristics of the sources (short-circuit power, generator type and regulation) Extremes: Low values of temporary overvoltages in systems with relatively short lines and high values of the short-circuit power at the terminal stations. High values of temporary overvoltages in systems with long lines and low values of shortcircuit power at the generating side (typical situation of extra-high voltage systems in their initial stage). Voltage Voltage increase increase factors factors due due to to load load rejection: rejection: moderately moderately extended extended systems: systems: < < 1.2 1.2 p.u. p.u. for for up up to to several several minutes minutes widely widely extended extended systems: systems: 1.5 1.5 p.u. p.u. for for some some seconds seconds close close to to turbo turbo generator: generator: 1.3 1.3 p.u. p.u. close close to to salient salient pole pole (German: (German: "Schenkelpol") "Schenkelpol") generator: generator: 1.5 1.5 p.u. p.u.

Slow-Front Overvoltages
Slow-front overvoltages have front front durations durations of of some some tens to some thousands of microseconds and tail durations durations in in the the same same order order of of magnitude magnitude and and are are oscillatory by nature. They generally arise from: line energization and re-energization; faults and fault fault clearing; clearing; load rejections; switching switching of of capacitive capacitive or or inductive inductive currents; currents; distant lightning strikes to the conductor of overhead lines. The representative voltage stress is characterized by: a representative voltage shape 250/2500 s; a representative amplitude which can be either an assumed maximum overvoltage or a probability distribution of the overvoltage amplitudes.
-1-
The representative voltage shape is the standard switching impulse: Tp = 250 s, T2 = 2500 s.

Tcr = 850 s Tcr = 750 s Tcr = 650 s
The representative amplitude is the amplitude of the overvoltage considered independently from its actual time to peak. However, in some systems in range II, overvoltages with very long fronts may occur and the representative amplitude may be derived by taking into account the influence of the front duration upon the dielectric strength of the insulation.

Phase-peak Phase-peak method: from each switching operation the highest peak value of the the overvoltage on each phase-to-earth or between each each combination combination of of phases phases is included in the the overvoltage overvoltage probability probability distribution, distribution, i.e. each operation contributes contributes three peak values to to the the representative representative overvoltage probability probability distribution. distribution. This This distribution distribution then then has has to to be be assumed assumed to be equal for for each each of the three three insulations involved involved in in each each part part of of insulation, insulation, phase-to-earth, phase-tophase phase or longitudinal. IEC recommended practice Case-peak method: from each switching operation the highest peak value of the overvoltages of all three phases to earth or between all three phases is included in the overvoltage probability distribution, i.e. each operation contributes one value to the representative overvoltage distribution. This distribution is then applicable to one insulation within each type. Common practice in the US and Canada [HIL-99]
(Both methods give only slightly different results; see IEC 60071-2, Annex D and [HIL-99])

Slow-Front Overvoltages Line Energization and Re-Energization

A A three-phase three-phase line energization energization or or re-energization re-energization produces produces switching overvoltages overvoltages on on all all three three phases phases of of the line. Therefore, each switching operation produces produces three three phase-to-earth and, correspondingly, three phase-to-phase overvoltages overvoltages. TNA studies have to be performed with several switching operations at random distribution of the time instants.

Phase-to-phase overvoltages
In the evaluation of the phase-to-phase overvoltages, an additional parameter needs to be added. As the insulation is sensitive to the subdivision of a given phase-to-phase overvoltage value into two phase-to-earth components, the selection of a specific instant shall take into account the insulation characteristics. Two particular time instants are of importance (see also next two slides): Time Time instant instant of of phase-to-phase phase-to-phase overvoltage overvoltage peak: peak: this this instant instant gives gives the the highest highest phasephaseto to phase phase overvoltage overvoltage value. value. It It represents represents the the highest highest stress stress for for all all insulation insulation configurations, configurations, for for which which the the dielectric dielectric strength strength between between phases phases is is not not sensitive sensitive to to the the subdivision subdivision into into components components.. Typical Typical examples examples are are the the insulation insulation between between windings windings or or short short air air clearances. clearances.

Slow-Front Overvoltages Limitation by Arresters

MO arresters limit switching overvoltages (current peak values 500 A 2 kA) to about: Ups (peak value) 2Ur (r.m.s. value) (see slide 9: Ur = 336 kV; Ups = 680 kV) Ur (r.m.s. value) 1 p.u. Ups 2 p.u.
Conclusions: MO arresters do limit slow-front overvoltages due to line energization and reenergization and switching of inductive and capacitive currents. MO arresters usually cannot limit slow-front overvoltages caused by earth faults and fault clearing (exception: isolated neutral systems, series compensated lines), as their amplitudes are too low. Separation Separation effects effects (protective (protective distance) distance) have have not not to to be be taken taken into into account account (overvoltages (overvoltages too too slow) slow) But: But: exception exception for for long long transmission transmission lines lines voltages voltages in in middle middle and/or and/or end end of of line line can can take take considerably considerably higher higher values values than than arrester's arrester's protection protection level! level!

OHL.
Amplitudes of induced overvoltages usually below 400 kV problem for distribution systems, but not an issue for high-voltage (LIW(Um = 72.5 kV) = 325 kV, LIW(Um = 123 kV) 450 kV) Back flashovers less probable in range II than in range I rare in systems of Us = 550 kV and above
The The representative representative voltage voltage stress stress is is characterized characterized by: a representative voltage shape 1.2/50 s; s; a representative amplitude which can be either an assumed assumed maximum maximum overvoltage or a probability probability distribution distribution of the overvoltage amplitudes.

Protection by Surge Arresters and Representative Overvoltage

Due to separation effects, surge arresters have a limited protection distance. The larger the distance between arrester and the equipment to be protected and the higher the steepness, the higher the fast front overvoltage at its terminals. Representative overvoltage when surge arresters are applied (simplified equation):
U rp = U pl + 2 ST U rp = 2U pl (!)

Note: depends exclusively on steepness and distance arrester equipment, Note: U Urp rp depends exclusively on steepness and distance arrester equipment, but but not not on on the the overvoltage overvoltage amplitude amplitude!!
Example: Um = 420 kV Upl = 825 kV; S = 1000 kV/s; L = 30 m
U rp = U pl + 2 ST = 825 kV + 2 1000 kV/s

Practical observations on the relevant traveling distance : 1) Shielding failures do not occur in the first span adjacent to the substation.
Reason: shielding is intentionally improved by lower shielding angles or double ground wires.
2) Back flashovers do not occur at the first tower(s) adjacent to the substation.
Reason: low footing impedance due to connection to substation earthing.

Assuming Assuming n n> >2 2 could could yield yield too too optimistic optimistic results results that that are are not not valid valid in in a a real real failure failure scenario scenario (e.g. (e.g. possible possible loss loss of of lines). lines).

Example: Um = 300 kV LIWV = 950 kV Upl = 550 kV

The real overvoltage at the equipment's terminals, limited by the surge arrester, has oscillations due to traveling wave effects. Case 1: the representative overvoltage Urp is the real overvoltage as there is no time dependance of the V-t-curve. Case 2: the representative overvoltage Urp is lower than the real overvoltage, e.g. 650 kV. (The first voltage peak will not cause a dielectric breakdown.)

Very-Fast-Front Overvoltages
VFFO originate from disconnector operations or faults within GIS due to the fast breakdown of the gas gap and the nearly undamped surge propagation within the GIS. Amplitudes are rapidly damped and front times increased when leaving the GIS through the bushing. VFFO are usually not a concern or a dimensioning parameter for the hv insulation. Therefore no standardized test has yet been defined (and is not under consideration, either). Mainly an EMI problem, as external electric fields may appear between the metal enclosure and ground problem for secondary control circuits. Countermeasures: usual means of EMC.

Cyclic CyclicTests Tests
Cyclic tests usually consist in applying, in addition to voltage stress, various stresses in a cyclic manner: - solar radiation simulation; - artificial rain; - dry heat; - damp heat (near saturation); - high dampness at room temperature (saturation has to be obtained); - salt fog at low concentration. Furthermore, temperature variations may cause some degree of mechanical stress, especially at the level of insulator interfaces and also give rise to condensation phenomena, which are repeated several times in the course of a cycle. For power frequency test voltage, a test transformer shall be used. The test circuit when loaded with a resistive current of 250 mA (r.m.s.) on the high voltage side shall experience a maximum voltage drop of 5 %. The protection level shall be set at 1 A (r.m.s.). Problem: Problem: no no general general agreement agreement on on one one particular particular test! test!
